I have 9 appprox 9 week old Arucana??? chicks.. they are all well feathered and I have been told you can sex them by their tails??? I will try and get a pic later.. they all have quite straight long tails that stick straight up/out.. What is the true way to sex these types of chicken?? 8 of the 9 are a lavender/grey colour and I have one brownish one..... all but one have wee tufts on their heads??
At 9 weeks you should be able to sex by their combs. Cockerels will have bigger, red combs; pullets' will be smaller and very pale. And welcome to BYC!
ok i'm going to guess that ur not from the united states, correct? if you are from here then Arucana's dont have tails. i would have to see pics of them to try and guess gender
